In order to maintain any institutional scholarship or grant, the student must complete a minimum of 12 credit hours per semester with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 (rounding permitted at the one-thousandth position). Institutional aid renewal eligibility is reviewed at the end of the academic year. A student whose institutional aid is not renewed will be ineligible for an academic scholarship until a cumulative GPA of 2.0 is achieved.

William Jewell has restructured and renamed institutional grants and scholarships over the years. Below is a list of scholarships (but not limited to) that require a GPA of at least 2.0:

  • Jewell Scholarship (less than full-tuition award)
  • Presidential Scholarship
  • Dean’s Scholarship
  • Trustee’s Scholarship
  • Faculty Scholarship
  • National Merit Semifinalist Scholarship
  • IB Diploma Scholarship
  • Doniphan Scholarship
  • Yates Medallion Scholarship
  • Achiever Scholarship
  • All Transfer Scholarships
  • Oxbridge Scholarships
  • Honors Scholarships
  • Athletic Scholarships
  • Performing Arts Scholarships

Any institutional aid that also includes a participatory mandate may still be impacted if this basic renewal criterion is met but the student is no longer eligible to participate in the co-curricular or academic program. Institutional aid is defined as Academic, Departmental, Athletic, Tuition Remission, or any scholarship/grant from William Jewell College.
